Medu Vada

Medu Vada is a crisp, golden South Indian fritter of ground urad dal, shaped like a small doughnut, with a fluffy, soft centre and a crunchy crust. The dal is soaked, ground to a thick, airy batter, and given a short rest — most of that preparation time is inactive soaking and resting, not hands-on work, and it is counted in the prep time below so the total stays honest. The active work is the grinding, shaping, and frying, which together take under an hour. Medu vada is a classic tiffin and breakfast item, usually served with sambar and coconut chutney, and it is also festive enough for a weekend spread. One practical tip: grind with as little water as possible, adding it a spoon at a time — a loose batter will not hold its shape and will drink up oil while frying.

Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka is a popular North Indian starter of paneer cubes marinated in spiced hung curd and cooked until the edges char lightly and the centre stays soft. This is a home version made in an oven, on a grill, or on a tawa — a clay tandoor is not required, and the marinade does most of the work. The taste is smoky, tangy, and warmly spiced, with sweet bites of capsicum and onion between the paneer. Serve it hot as a starter or snack, or tuck it into wraps and rolls. The marination takes about 30 minutes and is inactive time, so it is not counted in the prep time below. One practical tip: use hung or very thick curd and pat the paneer dry first — a watery marinade slides off and the tikka steams instead of charring.
